Flowers in Food

i'm intrigued by it, though i've never tried. i heard hibiscus is supposed to be really tasty in certain soups.
ReplyDeletei think i'm kind of indifferent about actually eating the flower, but i love the way it looks. i once had an orchid martini at japonais in nyc and it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteThey look so pretty and make such a great addition to a plate. I had some flowers in salads before and they were really good:) happy Tuesday, my dear
ReplyDeleteKisses
Ps: Hope you had a chance to enter in our super cute Ruche GIVEAWAY!
I think they are beautiful! Carla
ReplyDeleteI notice a lot of restaurants have squash blossoms on their menus these days. Does that count? The only other flower I've had is honeysuckle, but I didn't actually chew it up.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore flowers in food! All flowers from herbs are edible and great for adding flavors, too. GREAT post! :)
ReplyDeleteThey certainly make the dish more beautiful, but I'm on the fence. Sometimes I've liked them (like a candied hibiscus dipped in chocolate -- does that even still count?) and sometimes I've just moved them to the side.
ReplyDeleteI made lavender cupcakes once. They were really good!
ReplyDeleteThey look stunning but not really appetizing unless made out of straight, delicious, edible sugar.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think the flowers look lovely from a presenation standpoint but I would most likely "remove before eating" :)
ReplyDeletei love the way they look, but not a fan of how they taste!
ReplyDeleteps: today's the last day to enter the giveaway on my blog! hope you'll join in!! :-)
Beautiful. Growing up my mother would always make us the cake of our choice for our birthdays. She would decorate it with flowers from the garden. Usually gardenias and such. They were lovely!
ReplyDeleteyes they make the food beautiful.. but would i actually eat them? probably not! and thank you so much for stopping by my blog! cant wait to follow you :)

ReplyDeletei especially love the fresh flowers on the wedding cakes, makes them look beautiful.
glad we are blog friends:)
I've only tried nasturtiums, and they did have an interesting taste. Love these images.
ReplyDeleteI think that they are super pretty, but... I might be scared to actually eat one!
ReplyDeleteI made a cake decorated with violas last summer. I pretty much hoarded all of the leftover viola plants from work haha It's a weird texture when you eat them but it looks good! I love nasturtiums, though.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious. After weeks of eating out, I'm finally inspired to stay in and try cooking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photo inspirations!
hahahaha. I ate a flower once too and I DID NOT like it one bit, but they sure are pretty.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE flowers in food!!!
